A THORACENTESIS SURGICAL SIMULATOR FOR MEDICAL TRAINING

, 2013
Thoracentesis is a surgical procedure involving the drainage of fluid from the pleural space for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Emergency surgeons have expressed a need for physiologically accurate surgical models on which medical professionals can ...

The Relationship of Pleural Manometry with Post-Thoracentesis Chest Radiographic Findings in Malignant Pleural Effusion.

Chest, 2020
INTRODUCTION Both elevated pleural elastance (E-PEL) and radiographic evidence of incomplete lung expansion following thoracentesis have been used to exclude patients with a malignant pleural effusion (MPE) from undergoing pleurodesis. We report a cohort

Outcome of Intermittent Thoracentesis versus Pigtail Catheter Drainage for Hepatic Hydrothorax

, 2022
Background/Aims: The management of hepatic hydrothorax (HH) remains a challenging clinical scenario with suboptimal options. We investigated the effect and safety of pigtail catheter drainage compared to intermittent thoracentesis.

Safe and Effective Bedside Thoracentesis: A Review of the Evidence for Practicing Clinicians

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Physicians often care for patients with pleural effusion, a condition that requires thoracentesis for evaluation and treatment. We aim to identify the most recent advances related to safe and effective performance of thoracentesis.

Colon Leiomyosarcoma Diagnosed by Pleural Biopsy: A Case Study

Pakistan Journal of Medical Research, 2021
Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are rare tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with aggressive and poor prognosis. LMS metastasizes primarily to the liver but rarely to the lungs, and has hematogenous spreading from smooth muscle cells of the intestinal wall.

Thoracentesis techniques: A literature review

Medicine
Thoracentesis is performed by 4 methods: gravity, manual aspiration, vacuum-bottle suction, and wall suction. This literature review investigates the safety of these techniques and determines if there is significant difference in complication rates.
